Applying a policy to an index

  1. In the left hand menu, select Indices.

    The Indices page appears.

  2. Check each index you want the policy to apply to.
    Note: You can only apply a policy to indices that do not already have a policy applied to them.
  3. Click Apply policy.

    The Apply policy dialog box appears.

  4. From the Policy ID drop-down list, select the policy you want to apply to the selected events.

    Click Apply.

  5. To attach a rollover alias to your index, select your policy and select Add rollover alias.

    Ensure that the alias already exists. For more information, see https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/im/ism/.
